About

As a former addict who knows personally the issues regarding addiction and steadfastly believes in Christ as my personal savior, believes wholeheartedly the secular methodology of curing addiction does not work. There may be some relief but the addiction is held in recession but complete whole living is never attained separate from God.

Having lost employment, material things to the point of suicide attempts multiple times, recognize the only reason why I am still alive and enjoying life–now, is because of God’s direct involvement in my life, healing me from my addiction. Now, it is my privilege, duty and obligation to assist others who are caught, “out there”.

I reveal many personal issues regarding my life because it is necessary for people to speak out how God has saved them. The Bible makes it clear in Revelation 12 verse 11: And they overcame him (the enemy, Devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Christ), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Sure, I have been through some awful situations, and no doubt I’m angering the enemy who has planned spiteful acts against me, but I cannot be afraid. This whole website is my testimony and perhaps if just one person is helped by what they read which I have gone through, then my life would have mattered.

I prayerfully submit my life in print, and now, “online”, and solicit your prayers as I continue to do what I believe the Lord has called me to do. I’m currently posting each chapter for your ease of reading. If you contact me, I will be glad to send you the entire book as a PDF or Word Document. If you get this book downloaded for your Kindle through Amazon.com it will cost you $20. However, I’m believing a blessing should not be offered for payment. At some point, I will put a donation button for those who feel my work is worthy of some blessing so I can continue my ministry of helping those who are still suffering addiction.

Perhaps you or someone you know and love suffers from substance abuse. You no longer know what to do, no more words to impart to them. Why don’t you let me try? Why not allow someone who has had experience take an active role in their life to bring them back from what will be assured failure? I do not work. I am available to assist them in whatever is necessary to get them back. Ministry is more than words. It’s a willingness to take action. Pray about it and let me know how I may help you.

You must bear your cross, just as Christ did for us.

Addiction Recovery: The Greater Denial

This is a book in progress. The intent for it is to demonstrate the difference between "secular" (AA/NA/CA) methods of recovery versus "religious" (Scriptural) and to show the secular doesn't bring about the recovery as compared with God's method.
